I just got off the phone with TigerDirect again. I asked her if she could check with a supervisor as to when they will get them. They are still sticking to what they said earlier, and should receive them today. I am not going to hold my breath but it's enough hope to get me through today!

I called 3 times today, and each time they say it is coming today. Their warehouse just hasn't updated the inventory yet. On my order screen it still says Back-Ordered. Honestly, I think tonight the date will magically change to July and I will call tomorrow and they will have no idea that they ever said 6/25. we'll see.

Well, I did get my money back from Beach Camera. Glad that didn't turn out to be a problem.

So again, I leave on vacation July 9th. It's not looking good at this point to get the T4i / 18-135 STM kit in time. If I can't get it before this weekend, I'm going to just forget about a new camera before the trip. There's really not enough time to get to know the camera anyway and definitely not enough time if I got it next week. My original Rebel 300D might be old and have some relative limitations, but I know it well and still get great photos with it.

So since this is the reality, I may even wait until the 70D comes out (most likely September) and see what it's going to offer. The T4i / 18-135 STM will have many reviews by that time too.

I am just about ready to jump ship and find myself a nice used 7D, skip the whole "entry level" DSLR phase and jump straight to the crop format flagship, then call it a day.

I think I may wait until the 70D comes out this fall. The 70D is rumored to become the flagship crop camera and the 7DII will go to full-frame. The 70D most likely wont have dual processors but with a Digic 5+, it will probably out perform the 7D anyway.

It does depend how many of the features that the 70D I will really like so I still could end up getting the T4i. But, like I said, I'm not in a hurry since I've decided to give up the idea on buying a new camera before my vacation.

Edit:I just saw the latest rumor that says the 7DII will be an APC-H and not full-frame.
